Concorde Solutions, a leading provider of business analytics for managing software compliance, vendor performance and spend across Hybrid IT, has secured a multi-million dollar investment.

The company raised $2.5 million in new investment led by new investor, JMI Services, LLC, and included participation from Panoramic Growth Equity and Elderstreet, both of whom are existing investors. Concorde will use this infusion of capital to expand both its geographic coverage and its sales programs, as well as continued product investment.

His experience and strategic insights will be invaluable as we plan for continued growth and expansion.”

“The latest version of our Core Control software asset management platform was met with overwhelming acceptance with customers lauding the simple deployment, ease-of-management and enhanced analytics. From this we have built a strong pipeline and look forward to significant growth over the next year. The timing of this latest round of investment is perfect. We are seeing a dramatic increase in interest from customers and the market, especially in areas such as managing migration of software contracts to Cloud services and monitoring Cloud vendor performance. This new funding will allow us to bring new innovation to market faster, as well as grow our direct and channel strategies with extended geographical reach.
